Fort Worth Recommendations

Restaurants

Downtown

Bird Café

155 East 4th Street
Cute downtown restaurant with nice patio in Sundance Square.

Jakes Burgers and Beer

515 Main Street
Good sports bar with great burgers. Once upon a time you could find Chris here drinking $1 Ultras.

Mi Cocina

509 Main Street
Great chips and salsa! Get a Mombo Taxi… and maybe another one.

Reata Restaurant

310 Houston Street
Great Texas experience with amazing southwestern food.

Salsa Limón

550 Throckmorton Street
This started as a late night food truck parked outside the Cellar and has evolved into an amazing taco restaurant with many locations! Try the hot salsa — it’s SO hot!

TCU

Buffalo Brothers

3015 South University Drive
Highly recommend trying not only the wings, but the pepperoni pizza and fries. You can typically find us there before and/or after all TCU sporting events!

Dutch’s Hamburgers

3009 South University Drive
Another burger place. A staple on the TCU diet. Back in the day they had $3 pitchers on Wednesdays.

Fred’s Texas Cafe

3509 Blue Bonnet Circle
Fort Worth staple — the OG of good hamburgers in Fort Worth.

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop

2917 West Berry Street
Long before these popped up nationwide, we were getting Fuzzy’s tacos and queso between classes and until 3am when they closed. Pro tip: don’t get the wine.

Woodshed Smokehouse

3201 Riverfront Drive
Exotic menu with a great patio on the river!
